I don't have admin access. System info:

Oddly, the command works fine on Linux PowerShell, but not from Windows 10 as here.

For the sake of privacy, I changed the powershell prompt: function prompt { "thufir >" } The pwd is of the form: C:\Users\<username> >

Solution 1:

Do you have .NET SDK installed? First you need to check whether you have the wsdl.exe available at the below location :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\<version folder>\bin folder

if not, install the .NET SDK from MSDN web site.

Also, wsdl command expects the WSDL url of the web service, looks like you are passing the ASMX url - which might not help. In this case the WSDL URL will be http://holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx?wsdl
